Publisher's Synopsis
At nearly fourteen years of age, Jack Foster is an introvert, a book-worm, with no interest in computer games, sports, or girls, but loves his artwork and music. When he goes abroad on holiday for the first time with his parents to the Greek island of Tritinos, he meets Nerissa, a girl from the village, and the two become instant friends. But circumstances cause adults to misunderstand their closeness, and their friendship is threatened when the two are separated - literally oceans apart. As years pass and Jack's life begins to spiral out of control, he clings to the memory of the girl he now realizes he loved - and lost. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Nerissa is pursuing a successful career in journalism. When an accident robs Jack of all memories, good and bad, he is left with only a tiny scrap of evidence of Nerissa's existence. Unaware of the clue's significance, he is also oblivious to the danger it represents from those who have sworn to kill him.
